"Arsena, actually I really don't want to let my players go to Arsenal. You Arsenal are too stingy, with a weekly salary of only 80,000 pounds. Tsk tsk tsk."
Ever since he got rid of the hateful Jerome Anderson, Wenger has had a monopoly at Arsenal. But although Wenger now has a monopoly, he is much more tired.
Although Jerome Anderson relies on David Dunn's relationship to influence Arsenal's transfer market, and sometimes even affects Wenger's transfer strategy, David Dunn is the most important person in the English football team.
To be a real and powerful person, you need to be capable and have connections. In the past, Wenger liked a certain player, and David Dunn and Jerome Anderson came to negotiate. They were still very powerful at the negotiation table.
Basically, David Dunn can satisfy all the players Wenger wants.
But the current Arsenal CEO Gazidis is from the United States. He is also a famous figure in the sports world. He once participated in the establishment of the American Football League and was responsible for market development. His greatest ability is his strong business development ability.
Historically, Arsenal began to have enough funds to introduce players after a few years, which also had a lot to do with Gazidis' strong business development capabilities. This man brought several heavyweight sponsorships to Arsenal.
But after all, this guy comes from a business development background and doesn't have many connections in European football. He is always slow in transfer negotiations, or has been unable to successfully negotiate.
In addition, Arsenal is currently in its most difficult time. Due to the pressure of short-term loans for new Arsenal players, Arsenal has to control Arsenal's salary system and has to be cautious in the transfer market.
To introduce players, either Arsenal's performance is outstanding, and the players are interested in Arsenal's championship ability. But Arsenal's performance is not good, and they are basically drifting away from the championship. Since the performance is not good, you must at least have money. But Arsenal is at this stage.
The lack of money, coupled with Gazidis's poor negotiating skills, made it increasingly difficult for Arsenal to recruit players.
"Rister, as far as I know Santiago's annual salary at Villarreal is only two million euros."
Wenger smiled slightly. Wenger has sold a lot of players this season, the most outstanding of which are of course Adebayor and Baptista. After selling two heavyweight players, he immediately had six players.
Ten million euros in transfer fee income.
Now Arsenal has no money, so Wenger is spending money freely. Adebayor is sold. But Wenger is not prepared to bring in a striker. Just like last summer, he did not bring in a striker after selling Cristiano Ronaldo.
Same. Wenger has enough confidence in his disciples.
For example, Arsenal’s current talented center Bendtner, Robin van Persie who has turned from a winger to a shadow forward, and Kalou who can play both central and wide areas. The existence of these players made Wenger give up the idea of bringing in an outstanding player.
The forward's plan instead focused on the center. The departure of Baptista made Wenger look at Cazorla, the current core player in Villarreal's frontcourt.
Wenger has money now. And La Liga players, like the Bundesliga, are not very valuable. A player with Cazorla's performance, if he played in the Premier League or had English citizenship, would have been worth 40 million.
More than €. But he was only a Villarreal player, so his worth was not that outrageous. Wenger finally bought Cazorla for 19 million euros. And Cazorla’s weekly salary became eight
million pounds.
In the past few seasons, Wenger's investment in the transfer market, not to mention his investment, has been negative. Arsenal has earned nearly 100 million euros in the transfer market alone in these seasons. The stars have been sold one after another.
, starting from Ashley Cole to Thierry Henry, Cristiano Ronaldo, Adebayor, and Baptista, all of them have left huge funds for Arsenal.
"However, Arsenal's salary is still too low. If players like Cesc Fabregas and Nasri are not given a weekly salary of more than 100,000 pounds, Arsenal will not be able to retain them."
"It's all those damn nouveau riche."
If the person who hates Chelsea and Manchester City the most in European football is definitely Wenger. When Wenger and Arsenal planned the new stadium, they did not take into account the rise of Chelsea and Manchester City.
Their arrival has greatly increased the transfer fees and salaries of players in European football. Without their rise, Arsenal would not be as difficult as it is now. Wenger can still buy low and sell high according to his previous practice, not only
Being able to maintain Arsenal's performance will also prevent Arsenal from having financial difficulties. Unfortunately, the arrival of Chelsea and Manchester City has made Arsenal's wishful thinking come to nothing. Now Arsenal cannot retain good players due to salary issues.
If you can't retain good players, you can't maintain the team's performance. This is already a vicious cycle. If Wenger hadn't been in charge, Arsenal might have been regulated by banks in recent years.
"But that's the truth. I just finished negotiating David Silva's contract with Manchester City recently. Do you know what the salary Manchester City offered?"
Months of negotiations between Leicester and Manchester City have begun to bear fruit. The simplest issue among them is David Silva's salary. When he joined Manchester City last summer, his weekly salary was only 80,000 pounds. But this season he is
Manchester City performed well and did not appear to be unable to adapt to the Premier League due to his thin body as many critics believed. On the contrary, in his first season in the Premier League, he scored five goals and eleven assists.
Therefore, his contract was changed the fastest, and even Manchester City automatically changed it for him. Therefore, this summer, Lester's players and Manchester City players were the fastest to complete salary negotiations. In the end, David Silva signed a three-year contract with Manchester City.
With the new four-year contract, Silva's weekly salary has increased from 80,000 pounds to 150,000 pounds. David Silva, who is only 23 years old, has jumped into the Premier League's high-paying group.
"I heard. One hundred and forty thousand pounds?"
"No, it's one hundred and fifty thousand pounds."
Wenger shook his head. Although David Silva performed well, he was still far behind Arsenal's Fabregas. But now Fabregas's weekly salary is only 90,000 pounds, which is currently Arsenal's highest salary.
Arsenal and Cesc Fabregas are currently negotiating. Arsenal is willing to increase Cesc Fabregas' salary, but it is also a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds. There is no comparison with David Silva's 150,000 pounds.
.
"Lister, you know what? This is completely against the rules of football."
"Arsenal, you have studied economics. Isn't the so-called rule of football now about who is richer? You will get more surprising news in a few days."
…………
Even more surprising news was not only heard by Wenger, but also by the entire Premier League. On July 29, 2009, Manchester City's official website announced that they would introduce their midfielder Yaya Toure from Barcelona for 32 million euros.
There is nothing too shocking about this transfer, because Manchester City has made many amazing transfers. In just two years since Mansour entered Manchester City, Manchester City has already spent more than 300 million euros in the transfer market.
funds. Among them are players like Torres worth 60 million euros, and players like Tevez, Modric, and Thiago Silva worth more than 40 million euros. Therefore, the transfer of Yaya Toure is impacting
They are not as powerful as Torres and others.
Therefore, when Yaya Toure moved to Manchester City, everyone just thought that Manchester City started spending money again. Looking at Barcelona, the rise of Busquets, a young player in Barcelona last season, even started to replace Yaya Toure at the end of the season.
In the main position, Yaya Toure’s departure is not unexpected.
More importantly, Barcelona has spent more than 100 million euros in the transfer market this summer. In addition to introducing Zygrinski and Ibrahimovic, Barcelona also bought Maxwell. There are also 1,400 euros.
The young striker Callison was introduced for a price of 10,000 euros.
In the current European football world, Barcelona is not very rich. It is not as rich as Real Madrid, nor Manchester United and Bayern. It did not make that much profit last season. In this case, it is definitely necessary to purge some players to balance the finances. In addition to purging
In addition to some veterans and young players, Barcelona sold the valuable Yaya Toure.
It was normal here before, but when some details of the contract between Yaya Toure and Manchester City were announced, it really caused an uproar. Because Yaya Toure signed a five-year contract with Manchester City.
The weekly salary of Yaya Toure is 220,000 pounds. According to this contract, the annual salary after tax that Yaya Toure can get at Manchester City is nearly 6 million pounds.
If the pound had been strong back then, then this salary would have been very high. However, with the recent depreciation of the pound, one pound can now only be exchanged for 1.14 euros. It can be said that the depreciation of the pound has caused the salary of Premier League players to drop too much.
But Yaya Toure’s salary is not just that. He also has a lot of additional terms. In addition to salary, Yaya Toure will receive an image rights share worth 1.65 million pounds (including jersey sales).
Share). If Manchester City can break through the Champions League group stage, Yaya Toure will receive a bonus of 1.13 million pounds; if Manchester City wins the Europa League, Yaya Toure will receive a bonus of 412,000 pounds. Of course
, if Manchester City wins the Premier League championship or the FA Cup outside of the plan, Yaya Toure will also receive a large amount of additional income, which far exceeds the bonus for the Europa League champion. And the above income is after tax.
In other words, as long as Manchester City can break through the Champions League group stage next season, Yaya Toure's income from Manchester City will exceed 8 million pounds. Of course, if he unexpectedly wins the FA Cup championship or the Premier League championship, by then
He can get nearly 10 million pounds from Manchester City. These are all after-tax income. In other words, as long as Manchester City performs well next season, Yaya Toure's salary will be comparable to that of Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo and Cardiff.
Compared to cards.
After Yaya Toure's contract came out, it really shocked the entire world of football. Needless to say, it caused a sensation in English football. After all, this is the first Premier League player with a weekly salary of more than 200,000 pounds.
Players, such a huge contract directly rewrites the history of the Premier League.
Needless to say, List has made a lot of money in this transfer. After the contract of Yaya Toure came out, all the agents in European football thank List again. Just like when List
When Thiago Silva transferred to Manchester City for 27 million pounds, all the agents were ecstatic. Because this transfer further promoted the high value of the player. Since Thiago Silva
After Watt transferred to Manchester City for 27 million pounds, player transfers far exceeded the market price, giving agents countless operating opportunities, and commissions also increased accordingly.
And this time, all football agents applauded. Because List has created a player with a weekly salary of 220,000 pounds, this will definitely lead to an increase in the entire player salary. Especially the agents doing business in the Premier League.
I am very happy. Their players will also receive high salaries, and their salary share will be greatly increased. It can be said that List has become a benchmark for player transfer and salary in European football.
"So this is it."
Wenger shook his head. A few days ago, Lister said there was more surprising news, and this was what he was talking about. Wenger really smiled bitterly. Agents like Lister should really be arrested and shot. The weekly salary of 220,000 pounds is simply too much.
They are all crazy. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novels are better and updated faster!
